We're at 5 with a cap at 7, IIRC. However both 6 and 7 create pollution.
7,5 or 5+50%

Right now railroads are going to be Max IC raisers. Now, taking the railroad action will contribute to improving transportation infrastructure, but the technology and economy just isn't in place to result in radical changes long distance.
Interesting. This means that with Prototype Railroad, our cap will be 9 IC. (6 + 50% = 9). That lets us regen 5 Temp IC per turn, which is a lot of wiggle room for Develop Transport Infrastructure. That's enough where we legitimately might be able to take 2x DTI without dropping everything else to do it.We're at 5 with a cap at 7, IIRC. However both 6 and 7 create pollution.
@Academia Nut, is the difference in the narrative between us or Nohon declaring rivalry first big enough that it could affect Hung's support and opinion meaningfully?
Sorry, but, @Academia Nut , how do we make people less likely to listen to Nohon?
What's the most heinous stereotype foreigners have of the noble YmarGulruvian?? Or really just stereotypes in general.
MsGasser said:Oh boy, Dual Crown seems to be getting a bit more aggressive. Really hoping that this isn't the first domino getting ready to fall...
Vomr said:So, less pirates for now, but they'll probably come back when the silver starts flowing again. Nohon got it covered for now, but we really, really need to start investing in the navy.
You know, if everything else wasn't on fire for literally 1 second.
redfur78 said:We might need to reinforce our northern frontier, or at least get the Nohon to watch the Dual Crown like a hawk. They don't seem to be in a position to do anything yet, but that aggression is a bit worrying. They've been open to diplomacy so far though, so we'll have to hope they send a trade mission or diplomats to us soon so we can figure out what they want.
ArtificalLight said:So Spain and Portugal are down for now, probably for the next century or so even. Which means that we're probably going to see Britain and France filling that gap soon. We know the British are in Kus right now, so we're going to have to make sure the Nohon crack down hard on smugglers to make sure. Can't let the opium wars 2.0 start.
Dammit, if we weren't utterly fucked without it, I would happily let them in and trade with them all day. But nooooo, we need the fucking silver to keep from exploding.

Does anyone want to bet the Nohon are trying to get us to hate the Ymar? We did hear about them having a badass military, and with that new land border the Nohon share with them, they might be just a tiny bit nervous about those armies coming down and stomping them.
Hell, said armies would likely be a nightmare for us, and we've got a well equipped army and literally millions of men to throw at them. For the sea based Nohon? Yeah...
HungEmpire said:Yeah, I could see them trying to get us to piss off the Ymar, so that we'll take their side in the war in the future.
Having Not!Russia on our side is far more useful long term, but on the other hand, the Nohon are the ones keeping our seas safe. Gah, that's not going to be fun to deal with...
Bluium said:Simple answer to that, we don't take sides. Let them duke it out with the other. Hell, the Ymar can't fight with such a long distance without us, so they'll step carefully around us just to make sure the Nohon don't declare on them.
mainstory said:Well, at least things could be worse. Sea routes are currently stable, and we at least have a general idea of what's going on through the Nohon. If shit starts to go down, we should have a bit of time to react and modernize.
... Acceptable
Well, they tend to be more than a little piratical so they can hurt trade in ways that annoys the major mercantile powers, but the Coalition Wars massively disrupted a lot of their colonial efforts, and the Nohon have been reshaping their foreign policy in ways that suggest that they now consider the Hung not an overwhelming overlord but a potential prize. You would most likely have to make friends with the relevant powers in the region first to be able to convince them that bombarding the Hung Cantons into submission and forcibly opening the kingdom up for trade on their terms would be a bad idea.
I've been wondering for a while now if the thread is going to pull a Napoleon III.Honestly, I am not on board with strengthening the Hung, Strong industrialized Hung would admittedly be worse than the Nohon for us in the long run.
I still think they will dismiss us out of hand though.
can we have our conscript Rotate to make Roads and bridge? Aside from infrastructure, I am also hoping to get some military tech and traditions out of this
So, any Nohon Containment Effort would have to focus first on establishing the value of not bombing Hung into submission and playing up Nohonese piracy as bad for trade.
Relevant powers in the region, to clarify, are Sketch, Vortuga, Hespranxer and Halvyni, right?
Strong Industrialized Hung is inevitable whether it's a century or two from now. Since we're playing a game that'll stretch out into the Space Age, we need to make sure we're on the Hung's good side.Honestly, I am not on board with strengthening the Hung, Strong industrialized Hung would admittedly be worse than the Nohon for us in the long run.

eh true enough considering what most of the thread is aiming for (I mean I'm not but still).
Potentially. Like, whether you come off as aggressive or having the initiative if you declare first, or as cool headed pragmatists or reactive if you declare second will be largely about what other actions you take that can potentially shape the narrative.
Possibly.
Official military engineering rather than sapping or working the cannons is likely going to come up soonish. Probably be a choice in the next Mil Tech draw.

Not if, and hear me now, we eat them.Strong Industrialized Hung is inevitable whether it's a century or two from now.
@Academia Nut
Is the reason why they have dismissed Weihar's letters because we have not had proper diplomatic exchange with them since she married Nokly?
